ness of some really good citizens. We
have all been striving to create an interest
: in Jackson and its business affairs, and
have talked up the advantages to capilists.
Yet a man coming here to invest his
money would do so with the understand
ing that the only way to geta street-light
would be to carry lantern. The
Bell Ringer Show tonight was the most
thinly attended of any that has been here
for many day. The music is said to
have been good, but there were few there
to hear it.

some young men at the Rink tonight
that Franks friends were sitting up"
with him. In answer to inquiries as to
his ailment, George said: "They're afraid
his mustaches will strike in on him, and
if they go in on him, they'll kill him."
But Frank needn't be discouraged

The Council last night decided that the
cows. pigs and horses must be put up,

attended tonight. The programe was

Lloy dand Mrs Laura Guthrie as parents |
of the bride. Miss Ida Robbins as 'go- |

and Mrs. Miller Long.
FRIDAY.-The entertainment at the |
Rink tonight had a tremendous crowd |
The program was much better than that |
of last night. The recitation by Miss
Ainsworth was much better. The "Jap-
anese Wedding" was much the same, with |
the exception of the appearance on the
stage Of diminutive Jap, riding in a
wagon drawn by a spaniel dog. The
child is the son of Mr.. Hill, the miller.
The duet by Prof. Jones and Mrs.
Bentley was a splendid piece of vocal
music, as rendered by them.... The
double quartette by DR.. Joseph Jones and

sound the note. In this way the the scale
was run, up and down. MANY of the |
voices were easily recognizable, notably
the sweet voice of Mrs. Bentley at what
the "Singin' Master" called "high do"
After preliminary sounding of the scale, |
the song "Down on the Suwanee River"
was sung, in grand style. The Master |
got off some happy points about the i'm |
mense factories (to be) in Jackson, and |
the wonderful improvements in Wells
ton. The colored Odd Fellows held
festival at the hall in the Grafton Block |
tonight.

whole county is in to-day, shopping. A
great crowd of people came up on the

country around was well represented.
